[gui-talk] My Book Live and Screen Readers

[Peter Donahue]

Good morning everyone,

    The quest to find a Network Attached Storage system that is screen 
reader-friendly goes on. We're considering several models one of which could 
prove to be screen reader-friendly with JAWS. A while back someone responded 
to my inquire by relating their experience with Western Digital's "My Book 
Live." They said that the configuration software wasn't accessible with 
screen readers. I'd like more information such as which screen reader and 
version were used, does My Book Live have a Web interface that can be used 
to manage the system and how well does it work with a screen reader? Does 
one need to enter a code in order to execute particular tasks such as 
formatting disks, changing RAID Modes, deleting shared folders, etc?Could 
the code characters be detected by your screen reader? How long are the 
characters displayed (Some NAS systems display this code for 60 seconds?) 
How well is the company's tech and sales support? If you can share more 
details concerning your  experience with My Book Live ana any other NAS 
systems you may have used with a screen reader we'd like to hear your 
thoughts and suggestions.

Isaiah 54:17

 “While for our princes they prepare
In caverns deep a burning snare,
He shot from heaven a piercing ray,
And the dark treachery brought to day.”
